ANALYSISHow safe is the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser?
The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser, a reintroduced nameplate, registers a strong 86/100 on the NHTSA Safety Index, an assessment formed entirely from its inaugural model year data. Its single most consequential safety data point is the 3-star rollover rating, accompanied by a 25 percent rollover risk. This result significantly influences the crash protection sub-score, which stands at 57 out of a possible 70 points. The vehicle achieved a 5-star rating in side-impact tests and a solid 4-star rating in frontal crash assessments. The Land Cruiser’s avoidance technology sub-score is a perfect 10/10, reflecting standard forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control across all trims. Its defect record sub-score is an exceptional 19.25 out of 20, a direct consequence of zero recalls reported for this initial model year. While the 28 owner complaints are modest for a new vehicle, the concentration of 10 alleged brake-related reports will require close monitoring as this fleet accumulates mileage.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser perform in crash tests?
